Yesterday around midday a young Gannet was found tangled in real trouble.
If he hadn’t had been rescued he would have surely perished.
Environment Guernsey Ltd helped rescue the juvenile Gannet that Chris Massey spotted at Jaonneuse yesterday morning.
It was tangled up in rope and plastic. Unfortunately, when cut free, it didn't want to head back out to sea as it was too weak - and probably starving.
The bird has been named ‘Hooper’ and we are pleased to report recovering well.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said “Hooper is doing very well today, very lively and eating well.”
“We help over 1500 sick and injured birds every year at the GSPCA and Hooper is very lucky to have survived his ordeal.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Hooper was very lucky to be found and rescued yesterday by Environment Guernsey Ltd.”
“It is so sad that we see so many wild animals and birds injured and sick due to man made waste.”
“Hooper is doing very well and we hope to return the young Gannet back to the wild very soon.”
“There’s lots of ways to support birds like Hooper from donating to their care to Buying a Brick in our much needed new Wildlife Hospital.”
“We will of course keep everyone up to date on his progress and when he is ready for the wild.”
